It was already noon when Shimizu came out of the dark building.

The entire Konoha is now in a busy state, and a large number of war resources are constantly being transported to several important military castles in Konoha.

One of the most important military castles is Kikyo Castle.

Because Konoha Village is surrounded by mountains and forests on all sides, it is a natural barrier that is not conducive to the march of large-scale ninja legions and the formation of attacks.

The only main road is Kikyo Castle, which is built at the foot of Mt. Kikyo Derivation.

It can be said that as long as Kikyo Castle is lost, the gateway to Konoha will be wide open from now on, and there will be no defensive barriers to speak of.

Therefore, Konoha has stationed a large number of ninjas in this military castle all year round to ensure the absolute safety of this military castle.

Not only that, but Kikyo Castle is also the largest storage place for strategic materials in Konoha Village.

Almost all of the strategic supplies are sent through Kikyo Castle to radiate to the rest of the military castles in the Fire Country.

Once in the Second Ninja World War, Kikyo Castle played a huge strategic role.

Maybe the next moment will be war......

Shimizu thought of meeting the only remaining old friend, his former colleague in the shadows, Konoha Kamishinobi, codenamed Starfire, whose real name was Kurokawa Masakazu.

It's just that now he has moved away from fighting and has become an ordinary trader in a wheelchair.

The Miyome Hokage did invite him to be a teacher at the ninja school, but was rejected by Masawa.

He used the money that Konoha compensated him with last time to open a shop called "Kurokawa Ninja Equipment". The main ones are shuriken, kunai, short knives, small knives and other various ninja equipment, as well as some supplies.

In general, it is simply impossible for ordinary people to have such an opportunity to master the channels of purchase of these strategic materials......

Because these materials are like firearms in previous lives, they belong to the strict control of the ruler.

Therefore, the ninja who masters these channels must be a large family that has won the trust of the three generations of Hokage.

But Masakazu's family is just an ordinary ninja family......

Needless to say, it must have been the third generation of Hokage who opened up a green channel for him.

From this point of view, the three generations of Hokage seem to be quite good to the two of them......

It really makes up a lot.

"Qing Shui, why are you here?" Zhenghe, who was resting in the shop, saw the figure of Qing Shui.

It was the first time Qing Shui had come to this shop in Zhenghe: the location was not very good, and the area was not large.

It doesn't feel like business is going to be good.

However, because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, Zhenghe also hired a guy to help him take care of the shop

makes Qing Shui really doubt, what is the commercial purpose of this store?

Don't make money......

Invested such a large amount of money, and it turned out not to be profitable.

Isn't capital profit-seeking?

"Look how you're doing."

I haven't seen it for months, and it seems to be gaining weight with the whole person.

"How's business?" Shimizu asked.

"It's still in its infancy, not so good at the moment."

Shimizu is also not optimistic, because it is far away from the bustling area of Konoha Village.

Although it was not far from the Uchiha clan's family territory, how could a ninja from the Uchiha clan come to him to buy ninja equipment and supplies?

Because the Uchiha clan has their own family shop.

Could it be that you can count on those ninjas who pass by to buy it?

In this kind of poor country, how many ninjas pass by?

At least Shimizu stood here for half an hour, and no one passed by......

"It feels like it's going to be closed...... So deserted. ”

"Funding is limited, and the cost is low...... However, I have already talked to the patriarchs of several small families that I am familiar with before, and I have negotiated a long-term supply to them. So at least I won't starve. ”

"That's fine."

The two already had a deep friendship, and soon chatted about their recent situation.

"Congratulations, Qing Shui, you've been promoted." Congratulations from the bottom of my heart.

"It's not necessarily a good thing. This captain feels the same as the one he picked up, and the things he picked up are easy to drop. ”

"That's also the Hokage-sama's respect for you, and no matter how many people fight for it, they don't have a chance. You should take advantage of it. ”

Soon, the conversation between the two shifted to the issue of Qing Shui's previous custom Wind Escape Chakra weapon.

"Did you say you haven't received the weapons you customized in the Craftsman Country before?" Zhenghe asked.

"Yes, my most important weapon did not receive ....... But it's also fast. ”

"That's how many years of savings you've had......"

"Haha, don't keep talking about me. What about you, since you're retired, don't you plan to start a family? ”

"I look like this, it's hard to find, right?" Zhenghe subconsciously glanced at his crippled leg.

"Not necessarily, but you used to be a ninja, so it's always not difficult to find a civilian woman, right?"

In this world, ninjas have some advantages over ordinary people, and the wealth and strength of both sides are often not proportional.

Of course, if this ordinary person is very rich, rich enough to hire ninjas, then the two sides are almost equal.

However, such people have long since left the civilian class.

"But the two of them have to like each other......" Zhenghe smiled bitterly, "Isn't it yet......"

"Haha, there will definitely be."

"Captain Kongliu, I'm under the 9th Brigade, a member of the 8th Squad, codenamed Midorino, we have a new discovery about the disappearance of Shinobi! You still need to see it for yourself. ”

The sudden appearance of the shadows did not surprise Qing Shui, because the other party did not hide his figure and came to him.

And Shimizu also knew that the Miyome Hokage had indeed assigned a dark team to help him investigate the matter.

I remember that it was a squad of the Ninth Brigade under the jurisdiction of the First Army of the Dark Department, and the captain of the detachment was codenamed Libra, and he was a veteran shinobi with good strength.

"Where?"

"To the northeast of Exercise Ground 44, near the river near the entrance to Exercise 42."

The so-called Exercise Ground 44 is actually the Forest of Death. Entrance 42 is a remote area close to the edge of Konoha.

There's a river that runs through the Forest of Death, past Entrance 42 and out of Konoha Village, where no ninja would normally go.

Because that place is almost 40 kilometers away from the center of Konoha Village.

"What did you find?"

"A secret room...... Captain Libra says he'll explain it to you personally...... The stakes are high, so please follow me to Gate 42 quickly. ”

Could it be that Orochimaru discovered the laboratory where Orochimaru was hiding?

"Okay, then lead the way."

2. When you read my book, you can actually imagine the next plot for yourself. Then compare it with what I posted below to see how much it differs.

I think this kind of interaction can improve my grasp of the plot to a certain extent.

There are so many of you, how terrifying are the brains together......

Post a lot and let me know what you guys think.

Except for making me a two-watch beast.
